1) If an unlimited supply of organs were available, should a set of criteria be applied to all transplant recipients?

ANSWER:

) I believe that criteria should apply even if organs were available to all recipients. Transplanting organs costs a lot of money, and to have people pay high taxes for someone who may die even with a new heart in a few years would be pointless and costly. If a person does not consider their life worth making a few lifestyle changes, I don’t think that they deserve a new organ. My criteria would be that if you can afford to transplant and maintain an organ, have people depending on you, and have a healthy lifestyle you should get a new organ. If you can’t afford an organ, you can’t expect the taxpayers to pay for it unless you have people depending on you to live and are healthy.

  1. Sounds pretty good.  I'd maybe add an example of someone who needed a liver transplant because he was an alcoholic, but refused to stop drinking.  Someone like that would just waste liver after liver.


  2. sounds great
